Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A radio network node ( 110 ) configured to schedule transmission between the radio network node ( 110 ) and a user equipment ( 120 ) and a method therein as well as a user equipment ( 120 ) configured to receive a scheduling grant for a transmission between the user equipment ( 120 ) and the radio network node ( 110 ) and a method therein are provided. The radio network node ( 110 ) determines ( 201 ) a transport block size scaling factor. Next, the radio network node ( 110 ) determines ( 206 ) a scheduling grant for the transmission based on the transport block size scaling factor. Furthermore, the radio network node ( 110 ) sends ( 207 ) the transport block size scaling factor and the scheduling grant to the user equipment ( 120 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method in a radio network node for scheduling a transmission between the radio network node and a user equipment, the method comprising: determining a transport block size scaling factor; determining a time spreading factor based on the transport block size scaling factor, wherein the time spreading factor indicates a number of consecutive transmission time intervals over which the transmission is to be transmitted; determining a scheduling grant…
